<<The weight loss has not been much, which is strange since I have been in ketosis since a few days after starting. The one thing I noticed was there is a largevariation in the color. Sometimes it might only register a trace and other times it might regester moderate? >> The colors that indicate ketosis are the darkest two or three of the color range. It takes some people two weeks or more to go into ketosis, others, a few days. It's unique to the individual. Metabolism has a lot to do with it. For example, sticking to far less than 7g of carbs a day, I struggled for almost 3 weeks to reach ketosis. When I did, it was a very low level, and I drifted in and out daily. I finally gave up paying attention to this. However, I've been aware for quite a while of having disturbed metabolic functions. I'm new to the list. It sounds like a fair amount of people are doing a paleo diet for weight loss reasons. Is that an accurate perception? Blessings, Siobhan
